From the Abyss of Stars

007. Game Planner: I remember something happy

Luo Le, Xue Nian, and Lu Run sat on the bench in the interrogation room, facing the suspicious gazes of the Triangle Town guards. Luo Le scratched his neck and said:

"What I'm about to say, you must not be afraid."

"Say it."

"The gtb-issued warrant and the charges against Li Aozi by Frost-Plated—it's all a frame-up."

"Oh."

"What do you mean 'oh'? What's with that reaction?" Luo Le rolled his eyes. "Li Aozi slaughtered the entire Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization, freeing the human test subjects—such a person being framed by Frost-Plated, and you have no emotional reaction?"

"So, you mean Li Aozi didn't destroy the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization?" the interrogator asked suspiciously.

"Uh, that's not it. He did destroy the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization, but we found evidence of their heinous crimes."

Luo Le said, handing over a copied video, then mumbled in the voice channel:

"I took a look, these guards are all at least level fifteen. It's surprising to find such a powerful settlement in the Outlands."

"Never mind that. Are you sure this straightforward approach will help us find Li Aozi?" Xue Nian retorted. "Old Luo, although recent overtime has been tough, working more than eight hours a day, is your brain overloaded?"

"I think Luo Ge's method is quite feasible," Lu Run said, finding it reasonable. "Li Aozi is so popular in the Outlands. If he's in Triangle Town, he's probably a VIP of the local warlord. We're here to clear his name; he'd likely want to see us."

"Not necessarily. I checked the company data, Triangle Town's warlord, Auckland Jute, has weapon-grade enriched uranium. Wouldn't someone like him be wary of Li Aozi?" Xue Nian said pessimistically. "Besides, look at our identities: two community thugs and a gtb insider—especially you, with such a sensitive identity. Do you think Li Aozi would trust us?"

As they talked, the interrogation room door opened. The guards immediately stood at attention and saluted, shouting:

"Triangle Alliance!"

"At ease."

A childish male voice sounded, and a group of well-equipped guards escorted a short, thin boy wearing a thick coat. The boy walked with a friendly smile, chatting and laughing with the man beside him:

"In recent years, it seems more and more conscious men from Frost-Plated are choosing to leave the country, even venturing into the Outlands."

"It's a historical trend. Besides, the Outlands also have well-developed towns like Auckland's domain."

"Haha, I'm flattered. Compared to a real country, Triangle Town is far behind."

The boy chuckled, then sat down with Li Aozi. Through a layer of bulletproof glass, they faced the three Frost-Plated unfortunate ones.

To Luo Le and the others, Triangle Town's lord Auckland Jute looked like a beautiful Outlands youth with white hair, red eyes, and pale skin. If not for his thick commander's uniform and his commanding presence, he would appear more like a gentle and amiable figure.

Although Lord Auckland was already a graceful youth, compared to Li Aozi beside him, he was like a firefly next to the bright moon, pale and dim.

Without the need for immediate combat, Li Aozi had changed out of his practical and shabby outfit, now wearing a knitted sweater vest, shirt, canvas trousers, and a casually draped washed cotton jacket. His demeanor softened significantly. Moreover, he had his hair styled by a local barber, making him appear more sunny and approachable.
